This was my little personal project for a long time, and I think it deserves to be on YouTube.

The original soundtrack for Sonic CD is what I believe to be the absolute greatest soundtrack to a video game ever made. I've never heard a soundtrack that added so much more enjoyment to a video game than this, and when I heard it fully for the first time in 2004, I could not believe the insult Sega of America did to the game and the people of the United States when they completely changed the soundtrack. Nothing against Spencer Nilsen, he is a great composer and his two Ecco soundtracks on the Sega CD are some of my favorites, but I simply could not believe during a time of electronic music's rising popularity in the early 90s that Sega would make such a dramatic decision so late in the localization.

But I'm rambling. What you are listening to now is my best attempt at making the soundtrack go as seamlessly as possible, with as little pauses and fade-outs that I could work around with. Over the course of two years I've redone it at least three times over and I don't think there is much more room for improvement at this point, though I'd love to hear some.

Composed by Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata
